Book: Damaged Prince by Alisha Williams
Reviewed by Booksbystarlightandshadows
Rating: 4/5
The Silver Valley University books now have some real competition as my favourite Alisha Williams' series! I loved Logan's story in Broken Prince and was intrigued to see which direction Eli's book was going to go. There is so much healing in this book as Eli not only deals with the trauma of his past, but mending his relationship with Kai. Laney is still very much part of their relationship, but Eli and Kai's journey was my favourite part to read. Kai was so patient with Eli and seeing Eli become more confident and accepting of himself was very sweet.
I did find myself looking for Logan as although he did have a couple of POV chapters he was MIA for quite a bit. Logan was the focus of book one so on balance it works out but as his relationship with Laney was one of the most established at that point, I missed seeing more of their connection on page out with the Benny scenes. I still adore Benny though as well as Melissa and James. I just love how proud they are of their blended family and the adults they are becoming. Owen was also in the background but this makes sense for the character arc he is about to hit. I'm interested to see if there will be any flashbacks to this book folded into his story in book three as that guy has some serious explaining to do!
My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely until I finished it and it is one I will re-read
